With the overcast sky going for a bike ride didn&#8217;t look inviting. I opened the Zwift app searching for an event that appealed to me. I found one beginning at noon and click on the attend mark. But as I thought about it more and the temperature going up another degree I decided to cancel the Zwift ride and go for a real bike ride. I got dressed, bundling up some to counter the chilly (for me anyway) weather with shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and full finger gloves. I was up to the chill now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Canyon Endurace and I rolled out at 12:18 PM riding my &#8220;Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch&#8221; route. I guessed it would cover 25 miles and actually biked 25.72 miles. This put me over my 150 mile goal for December with 163.5 miles. Looking in SportTracks I thought I rode this route several times in 2021 but it turns out today was the only time. I think I confused the route with another one that goes the same roads until I get to Valley Ranch Parkway at FM 1314. Then the other route goes NW on FM 1314 to McQueen road and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 64 (humidity 91%, dew point 61), overcast, wind NE 6 mph; finish 62 (humidity 92%, dew point 60), overcast, wind NE 7 mph. Not much wind or it would&#8217;ve felt colder. Thursday is supposed to be in the 80&#8217;s. I will wait and see if that happens. Today was supposed to reach 71 but short by 7 degrees at my home weather station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid alignfull column1-desktop-grid__span-6
